I drive through the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel twice a day. It's not so bad at this time of year, but come summer, look out. I snapped this from my camera phone. I got to find a way to turn off that watermark.

I hope you had a Happy Valentine's Day. My sweet girl showered candy on me. She hid sweets all over the house, I'm still finding them. I have a lot of love in my life from my wife and family and friends. I hope you are as lucky.

I got a fair chunk of writing done yesterday (I know, I'm a day late) on my "Reluctant Sadist" book project. Worked on Chapter eleven that collects underground comix art I did for other publications. I was surprised at how much I did and I wonder if I had stayed with it, where I might be today. I suffer from the jack-of-all-trades curse. I can do a lot of things moderately well; well enough that I could make a mark in any one area. But, as it has gone, I've dabbled. I did devote myself to sculpture for a number of years, but even then I explored different styles and subjects. In the past twenty five years I have gone from comic book style drawing and monster make-up work to sculpture and writing (poetry, non-fiction articles and a feature film screenplay) to painting and acting. I love it all. So, here I am back 'round the horn and writing about the old comix work. Will it lead to my return to that world? Stay tuned to find out...
